    Latest OutofSpec Dave review - not good

    @OutofSpecDave do you think we're all fools? I'm sorry but your responses on here seem to imply none of us have seen or read car reviews before. Maybe you haven't? Because objective ones don't sound like yours. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt but enough is enough. Your content is...

    2025 model year changeover?

    I doubt there will be any significant MY26 changes. Maybe they offer a couple new colors, but that's probably the extent of it. MY26 likely won't be produced until October at the earliest, with a MY26 configurator not shown until just before then.

    Turbo arrives next week - serious concerns

    I've had exactly zero issues 5k miles in. Less range then I hoped but car is flawless. Had to do one factory reset (account didn't set up correctly, think due to a spotty connection) but software has been perfect since. I do think depreciation is going to be abysmal.

    Bose Speaker Upgrade?

    I think some others have noted, the Bose on the eMacan seems to really settle in after a few thousand miles. Mine was not great to start but has really come around. Like from a 5/10 to an 8/10. Calls had an echo quality to them at first, but crystal clear now. Started off worse than my Taycan...

    Serious Design Flaw - No easy access to vehicle if 12v battery is very low

    It takes 5 minutes max to jump a dead 12v on a Taycan or electric Macan. On a Taycan you just zap the hood latch circuit on the driver's side left of the brake pedal, then you just zap the battery. Easier on the Macan. Any tow driver should know how to do it or you can carry a $50 starter with...

    Any regrets / do-over wishes for your Macan EV specs? …”No Ragrets? Not even a single letter?” …

    I'd get the 14 ways instead of the 18, but no massage function. The 18 don't have adjustable headrests and with broad shoulders the top portion is uncomfortable for me. Biggest disappointment on the car. The ICE Macan 18 ways were fantastic, the Taycan 14s were okay, sad to see these be a...

    West Coast US vs Panama Question

    It has multiple stops along the way. You're seeing it's next destination, not final destination.

    2,000 miles - The Good, The Bad

    I also have had zero issues without the rear wipers, honestly never even considered it until I read this post. I've taken it on a couple of ski trips where it's been absolutely doused in mud/dirt/grime and zero issues without the rear wipers. As above, the front wipers & jets are horrible...

    Buying vs leasing (and possibly buying then): my numbers

    I checked today. If I buy after one month of leasing, it'd save me about $5,850 over having paid cash day 1. FWIW. This will likely drop by about $500 per month.

    Where is this Porsche dealer premium experience that I keep hearing about?

    Porsche is notorious for some of the worst dealerships and sales associates in the industry. As mentioned above, they just assume the car sells itself and you're lucky to even get a moment of their time.

    2,000 miles - The Good, The Bad

    My biggest issues with the car. -Windshield wiper jets are positioned horribly. Not sure if they can be adjusted by service? -The sun visors really should extend, but I know Porsche thinks it's a cute "supercar" thing -Range really should be a bit better, like consistently 30-50 miles more...

    Buying vs leasing (and possibly buying then): my numbers

    .0043 includes a dealer markup. Should be around 0035 to 0039 Ask them if they're quoting you the PFS buy rate money factor or adding a dealer markup. If they say the former, ask them to put it in writing so you can confirm with PFS.

    Who are the former Taycan owners who switched to the Macan EV?

    Most of the above is true. The eMacan is far more practical, the Taycan sedan is better looking and drives better. You get a lot more space with the Macan. I personally find the Turismo Taycans dreadful to look at, but the sedans are a thing of beauty. Sedan vs Macan and you're getting a...

    How much phantom drain do you experience?

    No, it can't. The 12V is the weakest link in the EV chain. I would recommend having it on a battery tender if gone that long, or have someone start the car and sit in it for 15 minutes once a week.

    How much phantom drain do you experience?

    I've never had any phantom drain between two Taycans and now my eMacan. My i4 drained a little bit, nothing major. My Rivian would drain a couple % a day, or a lot if I left gear guard on.

    Closing trunk by your foot

    You swipe to the right to close it. Left opens, right closes. At least that's what works for me, I'll have to test more to see if that's real. It does close it, I just did it

    [Update] so far so good - 4484 miles

    The washer jets were a menace for me on this ski trip, LOL. You know, it's funny. The car is excellent but I'm in the group of a bit disappointed in it. The range is not what I think it should be, especially when we see updated Taycans doing much better. That really spoils it for me. 220-230...

    Park button not registering park? Anyone?

    Interesting. I'm sitting and pushing mine right now, it's a very positive button with a loud click. I wonder if your button isn't fully attached? Certainly not model wide FWIW.

    Park button not registering park? Anyone?

    Curious if ya'll have continued to experience this. The behavior isn't present in my Macan, I've kept an eye out for it since I saw this thread. Park works perfectly, nothing ambiguous about it.

    Dealer error with configuration

    Glad it worked out as best as possible. I've had the passenger screen on one of my Taycans. I think you'll quickly forget all about it and now you got a discount!
